I disagree it is easier to maintain. Usually it is spread all over the application. Usually the unlucky third-party DBA doesn't have access to the source/ Usually performance *is* an issue, and the application guys are blaming the third-party DBA for it all the time. Usually NO ONE is EVER connecting to 3-4 databases, and NO ONE is so STUPID to use databases from different vendors. Usually those ERP applications are just a BIG PAIN IN THE ASS
